Today is the one year anniversary of the release of Soldiers and Kings. I wish my buddy Roberto was still here to see how many people have been moved by his story.

I really hate that anyone can email me whenever they want but sometimes they send me some gems like “Capitalism is the best system man has devised to create prosperity.” Obviously this is from an AOL account.

Just about every hate email I get is from an AOL address.

The irony of once again being “randomly” selected for secondary inspection at TSA pre-check and then having to explain why I have an eight pound bronze statue in my backpack. TSA Agent: You wrote a book? What’s it about?
